Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 38 | I am done and am recovering at home. I had another week added to the treatments since I was weathering so well. 30 rads, 6 chemos. I really would have like to stop at 25, the last 5 really made a differnece.
Nausea is rough, I am using acupunture to help and it has been effecive but a treatment only holds up for 48 hours or until I take another bag of chemo. Tomorrow will be my first treatment by acupunture that will not be trumped by another cancer treatment.
We shall see.
